This book contains some of Annabel Karmel's favourite recipes for babies and toddlers. It offers ideas for fussy eaters as well as advice on nutrition. On the plus side this book provides plenty of new ideas to get your kids to eat a wider variety of food. On the negative the ideas can be rather time consuming to prepare, but, if it gets your your children to eat more, then it is well worth it! |

This book does what it says on the cover! Providing meal ideas for babies and toddlers that no longer want to be spoon fed, but want to feed themselves. Containing easy and simple ideas for finger foods the recipes are well laid out quick to prepare. However, you may well already be using some of the ideas yourself, but it does help relieve the pain and frustration when babies start refusing the spoon. |

The toddlers themselves seem to speak for this book, with reports that they never seem to refuse the recipes from the book, and even the cooks like it! It's good there are so many 'traditional' meals in the book, meaning the ingredients are usually in the cupboards, but Gina does seem to think all cooks are 'stay at home Mum's' which is so often not the case. A great book and highly recommended! |

This great book is further enhanced by its ability to lay flat and stay open, thanks to spiral bound spine.

It's also packed with food facts and is educating for the reader with fun items for the kids to enjoy to. We love this book! |
